The Mother in Law

She keeps pushing my buttons and testing my limits I cant take it anymore, who does she think she is?

The cries of the baby invaded her thoughts bringing her back to reality. By the time she got to the baby, her mother in law was already holding her and both smiling at each other during the diaper change.

The scene shifted something inside her and she thought to herself, afterall she is not that bad, she takes care of the baby and household chores without complaining and also makes an extra cup of tea for me.

Surely we lock horns more often but instead of getting annoyed why don’t I try to accept her as it is, with all her faults and goodness, ignore the barbed comments and maybe she could also accept me someday!

With a firm resolution in her mind she set out to put it to work.
